================== ARTICLE START ==================

In our quest to get that " perfect " body, we actually tend to

lose our focus on the real things that should matter to us,

such as our health and well-being. Thus, we end up not only

neglecting our insides but possibly our relationships with

others as well. Cutting down on our daily calorie intake does

not necessarily assure us of a slimmer waistline and smaller

thighs. However, having our calorie-levels set way down low

what dieticians actually prescribe is not only sheer

shallowness but a cause a lot of ill effects on your health.

From mood swings to fainting spells, our bodies tend to give

out whatever " distress signals " it can think of just to tell

you to stop that mindless way of dieting.

When it comes to dieting, do bear in mind that food is not the

enemy - it never was. It’s actually the way we abuse our bodies

that can turn everything into a downward spiral. Stop obsessing

about what you’ve eaten in a day (or the lack of it) in order

to keep yourself fit and healthy you’ll actually need food

(with all its vitamin and mineral content) to help you achieve

this. Remember, do everything in moderation (especially in

dieting).

Unknown to the " anorexic community " who would rather die than

actually eat, there are certain vitamins and minerals - that we

can get from the right type of food which are actually essential

how we’ll be able to convert these nutrients into energy rather

than just store them into our thighs and bellies as fat. As

much as we try to deny ourselves of the proper amount of food

that our bodies need in order for it to run much more

efficiently, we actually need a big lifestyle change and make

sure to always keep in mind recommended daily levels of

vitamins and minerals that our bodies need in order to be

healthy and fit.

When it comes to dieting, we must always keep in mind the

importance of the Vitamin B complex. This kind of vitamin

actually plays an important role in how fast our body can

digest the food that we put in and eventually turning it into

physical energy. When food is properly digested, our bodies

greatly benefit from this because aside from not storing excess

fat, being healthy actually makes as more alert and less prone

to illnesses. Vitamin B2, B3 and B6 however, are all associated

with the proper functioning of the thyroid gland. Vitamin and

mineral deficiencies can actually affect the way this gland

works in a big, big way. A clear sign of a disruption in how

the thyroid gland functions is when our metabolism goes haywire

and prevents us from determining the amount and rate of the

calories that we burn off.

Another important mineral that we can acquire from actual

eating is Zinc, just one of the many minerals that can actually

help people with dieting safely. This mineral can actually have

an effect on the way our food taste as well as on how we’ll be

able to control our appetites. Along with Vitamin A and Vitamin

E, Zinc is a mineral that helps people in regulating their

thyroid hormones.

It’s also important to note that when it comes to dieting and

nutrition concerns, it is really not just the reflection of

ourselves that we see on the mirror which should serve as our

gauge on whether or not we’re healthy. Dieting can actually be

very emotionally stressful and when we lack certain vitamins

and minerals it can actually be a small step towards

depression. For many people who have weight problems, food

actually helps us feel better, even acts as our " security

blankets " whenever we’re down on the dumps. Which is why

skipping meals or just basically not eating at all is not the

way to diet, it’ll not just give you an ulcer but mental

illness (depression) as well.

It is also important to keep in mind the big impact that the

Vitamin B complex has on our mental health. Deficiencies in the

vitamins that make up the B complex can actually result in a

series of complications which might lead to a mental illness

such as confusion, anxiety, depression, dementia, paranoia and

even psychosis. Furthermore, deficiencies in the Vitamin B

complex can bring about insomnia which can make any one of

those symptoms much worse.

Vitamin C is another vitamin that is important to one’s overall

feeling of well-being. Arm yourself with the proper knowledge

with regards to how we can greatly benefit from the various

vitamins and minerals that we can find in our daily food

intake. The production of serotonin and dopamine as well as the

maintaining of chemical balance within the brain is a something

that can be well regulated with the proper intake of the

available nutrients.

Nutrition is especially important to the success of any weight

loss diet. Dietary supplements, taken accordingly to the

prescribed amount, can be an excellent way to maintain nutrient

levels while reducing caloric intake.
